Description
Vintage Anchor Hocking Wexford pattern small dessert or berry bowl. Features a distinctive textured diamond-quilt design on the exterior with a scalloped, flared rim. Perfectly clear pressed glass with a weighted base. Measures approximately 5 inches in diameter.
Key Features
Highly collectible 'Wexford' pattern; classic farmhouse or traditional aesthetic; durable construction; part of a large coordinating set making it easy for collectors to want to complete their sets.
Authenticity Indicators
The Wexford pattern is unmistakable due to the specific diamond-point texture and scalloped rim. Most pieces are unmarked, but the quality of weight and clarity is a high indicator. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Sticker residue (easily removed with Goo Gone); potential for small chips along the sharp edges of the diamond pattern or the rim scalloping; surface scratches from utensil use in the bottom interior.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for individual replacements), Etsy (best for sets of 4+ as 'vintage decor'), or Facebook Marketplace (local sales to avoid heavy shipping costs).
Selling Tips
Sell as a set if you have multiple; they are heavy, so use 'Calculated Shipping' on eBay to avoid losing money. Use keywords like 'Diamond Point', 'Pressed Glass', and 'Mid-Century'. Clean thoroughly to remove 'sick glass' film or sticker residue before photographing.
